Apollo - Exploration of the moon / Apollo - Erforschung des Mondes

The Eagle Has Landed' -
Two Men Walk on the Moonwas The Washington Post's headline on Monday, July 21, 1969The Greatest adventure of Mankind are other words I completely agree with.

The USA gives 700 Billion Dollar financial aid in these times of global economic crisis to hold a system
which crashes itself by its own rules. But there are not 30 Billion Dollar to give any man enough to eat and there are not less than
10 Billion Dollar per year to let the adventure continue, but there are 650 Billion Dollar for the military? And this is not only
the USA, it is every country having such a strange national budget. So tell me: Stabilizing instable systems, having great
machines to kill others but dreams are not possible; so tell me: What is wrong here? View the picture,
what is wrong in peaceful research just because we are curious and fascinated?

At the moment nobody is able to perform "true" manned spaceflight. Until today the Apollo program
stays the only manned spaceflight ever that has left the Earth's atmosphere (which ends in a height of about 1,000-10,000 km) beyond,
that has reached interplanetary space and another world, the Moon.
